Killooleet-CLOTHING AND EQUIPMENT CHECKLIST

KILLOOLEET - 2001 CLOTHING AND EQUIPMENT CHECKLIST

Recommended attitude: "Do we have something that will do for this?" Exception: 1 wool sweater or heavyweight fleece jacket is essential for warmth as they stay warm even when wet. Luggage should be sent with too little rather than too much. Campers love to write for more and get a package. Two duffels will hold everything except last minute and fragile things brought up on the bus. Everything is unpacked and kept on open shelves.

Dirty clothes are washed in our own laundry once a week. Fluff- dried and folded takes three days, so clothes for 10 days are needed. Any clothing that needs dry cleaning or hand washing should be so labeled and your child told. We have no uniform, but comfort and style are urged. On wet, chilly days only sufficient protection enables comfort. Sweatshirts are not as warm as sweaters. An old winter jacket comes in handy. Wet sneakers dry very slowly; we urge one pair of rain boots or waterproofed hiking boots for rainy days.

Mark everything and you will get it back. Please label hats, shoes, sleeping bags and mitts as well as things that go in the laundry. A laundry marking pen or permanent marker usually lasts one season. Put names (not just initials) in an obvious place such as the corner, neck or waist. Stamped names blur illegibly after several times through the washer. Iron-on tapes wash off. Check luggage right after camp. Most families re-wash everything (we don't use bleach). Call right away if the loss is serious. We store named articles and pass them back the next summer. We give away unnamed articles.

* For those flying in from a great distance we offer to rent starred items for the season. ($25 for camping equipment, $45 for linens and blankets.)
